Poems to Mellos from Mellos

SWMBO and I went to see this tonight. I'm not a Nicholas Cage fan, but he did a good job in this movie. The special effects were well done and at the end, the good guys win and they all live happily ever after. A nice evening's entertainment,...
In a hotel in Bangkok according to the text I just got from CNN.
Because it's that time of year and I have a ton of fresh asparagus chillin in the fridge, I've decided that tonight shall be asparagus risotto night. But now that I've got that I need something that asparagus risotto goes along well with. ...
Please tell me that I'm not the only one who saw this monstrosity. This was just....just....I'm not 100% sure what the hell that was. A sketch comedy show mixed with a variety show, mixed with, what, Double Dare? None of it was funny, none of it...
What kind of paints and brushes and other assorted art supply would be needed if one were to want to paint on a wine glass, like those that you see at wine bars and Hallmark stores? Something almost like These right here. My fiancee is interested...
Mello, Mello on the wall, who's the fairest of them all? No poll, no vote, just show me who it is that you think is the most beautiful woman alive. I'll go first. :smile: Christina Hendricks (and her two friends):
This is the one show that I think I've been looking forward to more than any other. House is formulaic as hell, but it looks like they're going to change that up a little this season. Who else is excited about this one?
For those who don't know, this is a crime drama set in the world of outlaw bikers. It airs Tuesday nights at 10:00pm eastern...and it's the best thing on televison right now and is well on it's way to becoming my favorite show of all time. Is...

List is from this Times Online article: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/food_and_drink/article5808143.ece Have any of you lovely British members (or lurkers) eaten all 10 items on the list? Are there other more relevant food that...
Ah yes, there is a Singapore Idol in Singapore. If you are curious how this show goes outside of the US. Well, here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Elqe_IVzihc
Why exactly is it that chicken marinated in yoghurt goes so tender? I made a curry last night by marinating chicken in yoghurt and tikka masala curry paste, then grilling on skewers, and the chicken (just standard breasts) was a lot more tender...
Why is goat meat and goat's cheese relatively rare in British/American cuisine? Goats eat almost anything and are good hill climbers, so it can't be that they're unmaintainable in the British isles. The meat's also quite tasty, as is the cheese,...
Is anybody looking forward to Operation Flashpoint 2? The original game was good (although shooting at dots on the horizon was a bit boring, sometimes: hopefully they get a bit more action in), and the videos of the new game look great, too. It's...
Ray Mears is a British survival expert who has a long running series of shows on BBC (see here, for instance.) Ray Mears is the guy Bear Grylls wants to be when he grows up. Who is the American equivalent of this guy (there must be one: men have...
Let's collect photos of ghastly art. My nominee's the Soviet era statues at Salaspils concentration camp, just outside Riga, Latvia: They're supposed to commemorate the communists that died there (only a fraction of the many thousands that...
Orwell, a noted socialist, was also known for his scathing attacks on the excesses of socialism. Both conservative and socialist commentators can find an Orwell quote to support their positions. Who are the modern socialists who critique...
This looked amazing, but somehow I managed to miss the first part. It's on Channel 4 online, but I'll have to fiddle with my settings to get it to let me watch (stupid Linux). Is it worth it, though? When is the rest of the trilogy on?
Why is it that there seems to be a dearth of war poetry from WW2 when compared to WW1? I can name three or four WW1 poets off the top of my head (and I'm no great patron of the arts), as well as a couple of famous poems, yet cannot do the same for...
The picture association game thread has a photo of Michaelangelo's David in it. It's not too hard to notice that the guy isn't particularly well-endowed. I've also noticed that many classical sculptures, both Greek and Roman, are also...
This last summer, I was sure that this song (warning, catchy tune) was going to be a massive hit, it seemed like a great summer song with a catchy tune, only, it seemed to sink without a trace. Got any more examples?
Being reported on BBC news, now. Died of a heart attack a few hours ago in UCLA medical centre, after arriving there in a coma.
I read and enjoyed Catch 22. It was one of the few books that actually made me laugh. Encouraged by this, I bought and read Closing Time, the sequel to Catch 22, only to find out that it was pretty bad: For a start, Yossarian is a serious...
I've just finished reading the short story "In the Penal Colony" by Kafka. I know most of his stories have some sort of hidden meaning, but what is this one about, really? Obviously, it's about a weird execution machine, but then there's the: ...
Has anybody seen it? I saw it last week. It was pretty funny in places, but lots of jokes seemed forced, and you come away thinking that lots of the film has been staged. I think between this and Borat, I prefered Borat, as Borat gave him a lot...
It doesn't matter if you made something good for yourself or hosted the neighborhood. I decided to go with that reliable standby: cow parts+fire! I'd picked up some London broil when they were BOGO with the shopper card, and this seemed to be an...
Sad news. I remember him most for his roles in Mel Brooks films. Thank you for many great laughs, Sir. :sad:
If the name doesn't strike a chord, Marilyn went from being associated with Ivory Snow™ to pr0n in Behind the Green Door. I snuck into that movie with some older buddies at age 16. Ah, memories. :D
http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/story?id=6982226&page=1 It's been years since I heard one of his broadcasts, but his distinctive style was both informative and entertaining. Good night, Sir.
I have come into possession of 3 or 4 old books--the large children's kind. Falling apart, hardbound, pages torn up, but once upon a time they were very nice. A couple have lovely tipped-in color plates (though I think the nicest ones are missing...
This one is niggling at me. I think it's classic SF. On another planet (moon?), a mysterious building is found. It's difficult to see anything inside. Entering results in a prompt death, but it's clear that some sort of path is there. A guy...
The only thing I have to go on is the following lyrics: "I never thought that I'd be where I am today" Male singer, kind of a pop/rock song. Any clues?
What happened to this genre? Did it play itself out? Did the message change? I have to admit a guilty pleasure in the whole futuristic steampunk B-movie style. Some personal favorites were Dead End Drive-in and Cherry 3000 (or was it 2000? ...
I was at a dorm event about a month ago and in the middle of "Don't Stop Believing", everybody that I could find was doing the solo in the middle (you know which one I'm talking about). I wish I had a picture, but my flash was recharging. What...
The following information about the upcoming 9th season of the ABC hit/cult show Scrubs has been confirmed as absolute truth. You don't believe me, you can suck it. :tongue: And then lick it. 1) The new season will see the show switch from being...
I'm considering cancelling my Comcast account based purely on that vile, wretched "Dream Big" commercial that makes me want to attack my own beloved television with a flamethrower. What commercials are you loving or hating lately?
UM, the title says it all. I'd share some but I have no talent in that area.
Okay, in the last playlist challenge, we came up with bands and songs with animals in the names. That was fun. I bet everyone who participated has caught at least one song on the radio (or somewhere) since then, that had animals in it, and you went...
Erm, so it is my new responsibility to start the Big Love thread? I'm not sure if I can handle all that; thank all the gods there's only a couple episodes left. I might crumble under the pressure. So last night's episode, "Rough Edges" seem to...
So a good friend and I often challenge each other to create play lists out of our iTunes collections using different themes. Once we had a bipolar challenge, where we had to address the ideas (somehow) of opposites. Lately, I've noticed that there...
I was asked to C & P my post from Board Voldemort (The Board That Must Not Be Named) as I was told I had some extra spe-shul insights to offer regarding Big Love. I am a former mormon and watch this show with great interest. Any other exmos/postmos...
Spinal Tap has a new CD out! It's called "Back From The Dead" and features remakes of some of their classics plus some new tracks, PLUS a DVD, PLUS! a kick ass package! Without question, the most awesomest CD evah!!!!1! Hella sweet! Rock on!
Show the DoMeBo world what kind of music collection you have: post the next ten random songs to come up on your iPod. Here's mine: 1. Bust A Move - Young MC 2. Saved By Zero - The Fixx 3. Crushing Day - Joe Satriani 4. My Little Girl - The...
Long thread title! Airing Sept 22, 1966, this was the third episode aired, but the second filmed, if you include "The Cage" which was the original pilot. This was the second pilot, as requested by NBC, because "The Cage" was "too cerebral" and...
Fourth filmed, fifth aired. Krik and a unicorn dog get split into good and evil parts and hijinks ensues. "IIII'M CAPTAIN KIIIRK!"
Today's episode is a fairly interesting one which I haven't seen a gazillion times -- for some reason I either don't catch it in re-runs or it just isn't broadcast as often as some others. At any rate, we get some character development for Nurse...
Giant talking rabbits, samurai, tigers, jousting, strafing runs, knock down, drag 'em out brawling with Finnegan. This episode has it all! This is also an episode that features planet-side scenes that are actually shot outside, rather than in a...
